Vehicle has 24,292 miles and it will not start on first try. Long cranking time. Dealer says it needs new fuel pump module and will cost approx $500.00! Appears to be common problem from the federal safety agency other complaints. Dc refuses to fix and refuses to give me written notification why not. Only verbal refusals in spite of my writng them requesting written refusal and reason for no goodwill gesture on their part. Appears to be at least 3 tech svc bulletins about this same (long crank time) issue.
The gas tank leaks while filling. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on 7/7/2003. The dealer stated the vent tube weld failed.
Very hard to start. Have to give it a little gas to start. Rarely starts on first try. Dealer is replacing fuel pump/fuel tank o-ring. Fuel tank has to be drained to replace o-ring. O-ring is a $15 dollar part. Total bill to replace is $188.90 including tax and labor...ouch!! Obviously fuel system is sucking air as a result of faulty o-ring. Vehicle only has 38,000 miles.
Vehicle has less than 40,000 miles and the fuel pump seal has deteriated causing very hard starting after the vehicle sits for several hours. Dealer said they are seeing a number of these failures. Repair cost is sevreal hundred dollars for a small o-ring gasket.
Consumer states that has an over ring gasket and it does not give the vehicle enough power to start. Dealer was contacted. Mr
This vehicle has been to the dealer 3 times for fuel leaking from the top of the tank after filling it up at the gas station. Fuel pump was replaced as well as tank. Condition goes away and then returns again 9-12 months after repair. Obdviously parts are failing for the same reason. Car will lose approx.3 gallons after leaving gas station driving down the road. Someone is going to end up dead if they dont correct this. Vehicle is out of warranty, but problem is related to the same recall. I cant afford the parts and labor to repair it, leaving me no choice but to drive it.
While driving vehicle will just stall out without any warning.contacted dealer. This is a result of the fuel pump being defective.
After making several appointments with dealership to have recall 02v104000 repairs done, dealership will either cancel or say parts were not available.
Transmission will automatically with gear while driving.*ak the transmission started jerking between gears 1-2 and 4-3. The sunfoof screeches when closing. The fuel chime light comes on at quarter tank. The overhead computer reads inaccurately.
Front rotors have been replaced 3 times/ were resurfaced once, and rear rotors were replaced once due to vibration in vehicle.*ak consumer stated that the pcv valve failed, fuel filter failed, and front shocks leaking fluid and replaced front shocks, also the transmission pan was leaking fluid, wiper blades were replaced.

Hard starting... Fuel pump replaced and problem corrected.. Had to pump the gas pedal lightly then turn the key to get the beast started.. And I mean a beast !.. Rough idleing engine, noisey diesel like sound from this poorly designed and engineered hunk of metal.. A true embarrsement fro the chrysler engineers.. I must say one thing..they are consistent in designing a good looking vehicle.. But beauty is only skin deep.. For this vehicle is a consumers nightmare.. Stay away from these trucks.
O ring deteriorates causing leakage - delaership admitted as known problem - chrysler denied - I paid to have fixed - believe that it is a known defect.

I was involved in a rear end collision which started a small pile up. I was struck in the rear and my fuel tank ruptured and the jeep burst into flames immediately as I was pushed into second car. By the grace of god I survived.
Fuel was leaking from tail pipe, and fumes entered the passenger's compartment. Dealer replaced fuel injector and power control module. *ak
